Team Away day - off to the vets

Came onto the Heath to see three cows charging past me. Pretty impressive sight !

They were all herded off to the vets so couldn't check them. 

27th July

All 3 seen and taken off for a tb test (and blood sample).

They all look well and Tweasels patches seem to be scabbed over. 

We will be back on Thursday for the vet to read the jabs. 

Fingers crossed

Thanks
Grazing Team

Wednesday 22nd July

All cattle found on L9. Few bumps of Teasel and skin condition noted. 67 very grumpy today. Trough good.

All ok.

Apologies for the late blog post.

I checked in on the cattle on Monday evening and they're all doing well. Teasel does have quite a few sore patches on her neck but only one of them was getting fly attention while I was there.

I've spoken to the grazing team about her and they will head over there at some stage to spray the sores with some antiseptic treatment which will also keep the flies off. The spray is blue so don't be alarmed if you check on the cattle one day and find that Teasel has a blue neck!

Looked as our afternoon walk, 2.30pm. Found all 3 in K12, Both bullocks grazing, Teasle (088) laying chewing cud. She looked quite relaxed but the scar on the side of her neck still looks bad. Difficult to see the actual scar due to the folds of flesh in her neck but the whole area looks to be alive with flies.

Looked at 7.30pm and found all 3 cattle laying in the shade in L10.

Checked Teasle (088) and noted sores on her neck. All cattle were surrounded by flies and Teasle had flies on the sores. She looked uncomfortable and was laying flat on her side.

Checked trough full OK

Friday afternoon

All 3 chilling out today. 067's lump more or less the same. Trough also fine

Today at lunchtime all 3 burst out of the High bracken in a run at K11. Teasel has small bare patch left side of neck. Clever Clogs has a lump on his right flank. Nothing serious for either I don't think. Trough OK.

Wednesday 15th July

All found in J9. Grazing away. Teasel's bites/scratches on neck still a bit raw. Grazing team informed last week. Trough good.

Walked site at 1.30 found all three cattle among the trees in H4. Moving through trees and grazing -  no sign of any problems. Noted lump on 067 which looks larger now than last week.

Friday afternoon

067 having a solitary drink today and his lump actually looked quite prominent again this week.

Other 2 a couple of hundred metres away munching and looked fine.
